Who is good, who is bad?

From the One Light, the entire universe welled up. So who is good, and who is bad?

The Guru Granth Sahib contains the compositions of fifteen figures who were not Sikhs, Hindu bhakti poets and Muslim Sufis, set in the same musical modes, on the same pages, under the same authority as the gurus’ own. Not as an appendix. Compiled in. The first voice here is Kabir, a Muslim-born weaver raised in a Hindu order. The second is Sheikh Farid, a Sufi: do not turn around and strike those who strike you. Kiss their feet, and return to your own home. The third is Guru Arjan, who compiled them: I am not a Hindu, nor am I a Muslim.

This is the turn at the scale of a whole tradition. Having seen that the light is one, Sikhism did the thing the seeing implies, and bound the other traditions’ poets into its own scripture. Read the three passages as one act. The question Kabir asks is not rhetorical. It is the practice.
